She had 2 for sale, other one went earlier in week. Can be seen ridden, and passport is up to date with jabs etc. Downsizing by sounds of it for £ issues.
Would be taken on by my friend who is currently horseless with her mare recovering from Kissing Spine op having had 3 dorsels removed. Would be schooled professionally (onsite II) and hacked & socialised well.

Let me know x
 
I think he looks really nice and genuine. I don't think the photos are very good and probably don't do him justice, so would be worth a look. Reasonably priced too, which makes a refreshing change!!
 
He seems a nice enough fella, if he is 'as described' then he would be worth taking a look at & possibly a good buy for someone. It's also nice that the seller is sensible about pricing their animal. He could bring alot of joy to someone.

I agree Dixie, the other horse, Max, looked lovely, and was sold unseen in an hour. If genuine, hopefully some TLC, hard work, and routine, may help this chap fulfil his abilities. She has had no time for him and he's basically been a plod in last 12 months, but at least in work so vaguely ticking over. Will keep you posted x
 
I like him too and I think he is very reasonably priced for his age, size and temperament too.
I would say go for him but that is just me.

If I was in a position to buy right now, I would certainly call and enquire and potentially journey down to have a look.
I shouldn't imagine he'll be around long at that price.
 
She's going to see him at 11 tomoro. Pressure on (which won't sway her, unlike softhearted softy me) as there are 6 other people coming over the weekend if she doesnt buy him tomoro morning, she has first refusal. No trial is offered, pretty much sold as seen as the lady needs the money and knows someone else will just take him there and then for that price. Is a risk, but I guess you never know. Could walk away now, but he could be a cracker. My friend is very experienced, has bred and dealt horses in the past so with any luck will pick up on anything visible. A risk but, will keep you posted.
 
I have come across him before and liked the sound of him, if he was not so far away I would have looked at him.
Ashurstfella how did she go on when she went to see him?
 
Bleeping timewasters.

2 fundamental questions we asked before the 200mile round trip (know so many of you have travelled many more miles for disappointment too but still, tis a long way and our free time is so precious) : Is he clean limbed, yes, is he straight moving, nope. Those pics in the ad make him looks Stunning in comparison to now. Looked wormy, malnourished, capped hocks, 2 deep and still fat old leg injuries, where to continue.

I appreciate he was cheap, and yes he was a winter project, but still, why completely fabricate his condition & state when she knew we'd just see it for ourselves. Wasnt even worth a crazy offer, poor neddy.
